Sensex loses 300 pts on RBI's hawkish policy; SBI dips 4%
At 14:14 hours IST - continuous downtrend in banking & finance, realty, metal, telecom, power and pharma stocks was hammering the benchmark indices. The Nifty was consistently trading below the 4,900 mark while the Sensex was hovering around the 16,500 level.
RBI's (Reserve Bank of India) hawkish credit policy was the main concern behind this fall, wherein RBI tightened NPA (non-performing asset) norms for banks and increased real estate provision to 1% from 0.4%. It also revised inflation target to 6.5% from 5% for March 31, 2010.
The Nifty tumbled 103 points to 4,867 and the Sensex was down 314 points to 16,426. The Nifty November future was trading with 16-19 points premium while October future with 5-7 points premium.
